You can now get a prepay certificate for HRT prescriptions for a whole year for under 20 quid. This is a new option that’s just been added - before this the only way to cut the cost was to buy a full prescription prepayment certificate which is way more expensive.
But now you can get one just for HRT prescriptions.

This is so good. but I don’t think very many women know about it.
I hadn’t thought about it because I have a full prepay to cover other prescriptions, but it took lots of trying to figure out the right treatments for my HRT and it must have been a big barrier for loads of women.
A hidden cost. But hooray for this to reduce that problem.
The service to apply was crashing in the first couple of days, but I think it’s fixed now, so if you’re getting HRT prescriptions every month go for it and save some money.
